It’s strange that he’s aiming for the ball and making it a fly ball for Todoroki to catch.

Inou occasionally shows some signs of being a bit of a chuunibyou, doesn’t he?

Enjoyment group

*I have been training hard to improve my bunting skills and running speed.*

It’s funny that even when the director explains the infield fly rule, we still don’t really understand it.

>>10

Honestly, I had a question mark floating in my head too.

For now, I just understand that I won’t end up in a situation like this again…

>>41

In short, the infield fly rule applies when a player intentionally drops a catchable ball to secure a double play.

So you might wonder why it doesn’t apply to bunts, but bunting itself is a strategy that would become too strong without restrictions, so there’s no need for rules to protect those who do things like a bunt fly.

>>52

That’s not it.

If there is only a runner on first base and the ball is intentionally dropped, the batter-runner will almost always be safe as long as they run normally without any significant issues.

Because a double play cannot occur, an infield fly does not happen.

If there are runners on first base, second base, or bases loaded, an infield fly rule comes into play.

>>141

???

>>149

For example, when there are runners on first and second base, you intentionally drop the ball, right?

Since a fly ball has been hit, both the runner on first base and the runner on second base are watching and not advancing to the next base.

It can result in a double play with a force out at third base and a force out at second base by intentionally dropping the ball.

If there is only a runner on first base, intentionally dropping the ball to get a force out at second base is not possible because by that time the batter-runner will have reached first base, so a double play cannot be made.

This is the difference.

>>155

It’s that thing with the aircraft!

>>141

What I’m saying is the reason why an infield fly doesn’t occur with a bunt…

There were some aspects that succeeded precisely because it was completely off the radar.

What is this team with Kiriyama teleporting and Inou playing a different game…?

>>12

The arms are in ruins, but the demon king is completely satisfied with the four bodies.

This operation only works against a one-man team whose mental state is completely falling apart, so it’s really unfair.

>>13

It seems like we could do the flow of Kobori gathering information and then setting up the meta every time.

>>15

I definitely think so.

Moreover, I’m adjusting it so that it won’t disconnect right away.

I think Inou could get a bunt hit just by bunting in every at-bat at the high school level.

It was a natural flow that Kiriyama accepted fairly straightforwardly.

In baseball, the infield fly rule does not apply to bunts, but the intentional drop rule does, so those who play baseball should be careful.

Even if Todoroki doubts his own observational skills, isn’t it crazy that that slow leg performance worked against Todoroki?

Even though I’m unconsciously perceiving the elbow injury.

>>20

I’m currently in a state where I even doubt my own eyes…

This guy is quite capable, using not only extortion and threats but also methods of persuasion.

I wonder if they also honed their bunting skills at the batting center.

>>29

(That high school student is now just practicing bunting…!)

But this guy doesn’t perform well unless he’s under pressure.

>>30

“I want to stand out efficiently, so the results are average, but what does it mean to leave an impression?”

>>30

That’s intentional too, isn’t it?

Wow, the fact that he can do it on purpose shows his skills are incredible…

Inou is a genius with no weaknesses other than his lack of overall baseball experience.

Of course, my effort and natural talent can’t match Kiriyama’s, so at least during this match, Todoroki is going to get completely beaten up.

Todoroki has to survive this match or he’ll be completely destroyed…

>>37

It’s not Hell Koshien…

This guy might be the protagonist.

>>43

I only somewhat knew about it because of that guy from Dokaben.

At least if we don’t win the match, Todoroki will end here.

In reality, there are those who are called “big hitters” or “balance keepers”…

Teacher… do you understand “Play ball”?

This operation sounds like it could indeed be Minecraft when you think about it…

At least I’m playing a different game from baseball…

It has become increasingly possible to make highly advanced guesses in the future, and it is also not surprising that my peers would accept them.

This might be the first time I’ve seen a manga that thoroughly explains a double play.

Is it really true that even adults like this have the right to vote…?

>>59

It’s crazy to only react to the play…

In fiction, bunting is portrayed as something anyone can do, but in reality, it’s so difficult that even professionals fail at it.

>>55

Bunting is really hard because instead of aiming and hitting it out, you have to control your momentum and roll it.

>>55

That’s why there are guys called bunt craftsmen.

Even if we lose here, I think Todoroki will manage somehow because he has a catcher who understands him…

Somehow, I feel like after the match ends, it will feel refreshing.

A person who is aware of their last chance in a practice match and can decisively score.

In the case of having 2 strikes, you can be out even with a foul.

Bunting is strong, so there are many restrictions on it.

Especially high school baseball

The fact that you can cut the Demon King’s sphere is amazing.

There was a bunt demon even in Mr. Full Swing.

If I mess up the bunt, it looks like the ball could hit my arm or face really hard, and that seems super scary.

But did Todoroki have a trusting relationship with his teammates…?

>>68

The teammates are quite tolerant of Todoroki’s attitude, but…

Since Tohru himself is falling apart, there’s nothing that can be done.

>>68

The strict hierarchical relationship where they follow because Todoroki doesn’t make mistakes was established.

Once I make a mistake, everything falls apart.

>>68

Todoroki is a bit too full of himself, but he has the skills and is confident, so I thought he would just brush off my complaints if I made them lightly as a joke.

>>77

Even though we haven’t conceded a single point yet, being talked about this way must be because of our usual behavior…

>>88

If you act as a king, you should have listened to the voices around you to avoid the situation.

This time, even the failure was a bluff, so it somehow worked out.

A regular bunt is pointless if you don’t roll it.

Rather than bouncing or launching, it rolls.

Hirose’s comprehension is too high.

On the contrary, why doesn’t Sho-chan understand the infield fly rule?

Everyone out in the field understands.

>>72

When you think about it, being a pitcher means you have to understand that classification the best and decide whether you can respond or not.

I thought that if this information leaked, it would be a strategy that couldn’t be reused, but Kobori had set it up without an audience.

>>74

I felt a chill at Inou’s feet, but honestly, Kobori is the most dangerous.

Even though the match hasn’t ended, I’ve already figured out Todoroki’s personality.

The mental strength to be sure that even if you pop up a bunt, you can drop it and aim for a double play is incredible.

Isn’t this guy a genius just because he’s playing a different game?

If you’re just a bench hitter, you might be considering that you can skip defensive practice, which is too much of an efficiency focus…

I wonder if that teacher will even go to the election…

>>81

The next insult is for adults who seem like they don’t vote in elections.

>>82

A postcard left unattended in the mailbox…

It’s a heated development that bets on the summer of 15.

Somehow… it’s just plain interesting as a baseball manga, even without any stylish lines or anything.

>>84

Chic, or rather… strange.

They use unscrupulous means and view others as pawns, but they’re a good person, so you can feel secure.

Huh, you didn’t throw away this match, did you? Are you planning to make a comeback from here?

>>90

The experiment is over, so now I’m shifting to how I can leave scars on my opponent.

>>90

Last time, if Sho-chan loses, he will lose confidence, so there’s no way we can afford to lose this match!

You’ve been putting in a lot of effort with your training and strategies, taking significant risks and going for a big gamble, and it was all very impressive!

It seems likely that losing as it is will only deepen the rift with the opponent.

In the end, Kobori was sweating from Ino’s atrocious methods, but who are you to say that?

>>94

Baseball is a villager, you know.

>>94

It’s not something a high school student can do to throw their ace into adversity to train them…

>>106

First, it was Kobori who set up this match…

A normal bunt fly is just caught and that’s the end of it, so it doesn’t really work as a strategy.

What happened because Todoroki was excessively fixated on the double play.

What’s with this guy who can train from slow to fast in a short period of time…?

>>98

I guess you must have researched the form to run faster…

What is the ability to succeed under pressure that can be acquired later?

When playing PowerPro, suddenly getting an infield fly and wondering what the heck it is!? Isn’t that something everyone goes through…?

>>101

If you do this on purpose, it’s a double play! It’s common to think that but then not be able to execute it and end up confused, right?

Having set it up myself…

The demon king loves being at third base.

I have a feeling that we might win this match.

Hirose-kun, just hitting isn’t enough to score points.

I wonder if the opponent’s outfield will give up on defense next time…

Ino-kun embodies the essence of friendship, effort, and victory all on his own in a shonen manga…

>>112

Baseball is a sport that requires teamwork!

>>112

I don’t want to admit this even in the previous work, but I feel like…

There might be a mod for Minecraft that lets you play baseball; I just don’t know about it.

>>113

It’s just ordinary.

>>113

In Minecraft, you can create any game within Minecraft itself.

A team full of weirdos.

Well, the other side too.

Does that count as an infield single? Is the fielder’s choice considered an error?

>>115

Since he didn’t throw to second base and didn’t drop the ball, it will be counted as a hit.

>>115

If you’re dropping it without touching, wouldn’t that be considered a throwing error or something?

Two months of baseball history.

>>116

It might be that because Todoroki was similar, I became skeptical of my observational skills, but in two months, it’s the opposite; it probably made it difficult to discern his habits and figure things out.

Since it’s an opportunity gained through a trusting relationship, it makes it even more damaging for Todoroki.

In reality, it’s just a threat…

It’s the first match, but the development is too intense…

>>120

Even though the match is dragging on a bit, it’s not boring at all.

When there are runners on first and second base and a fly ball is hit, the runners can’t run.

I finally understood before going to bed last night that this rule is to prevent situations where a dropped ball can lead to a hit and throwing to third and second base results in two outs.

After reading this story, I thought, “Oh, this is the infield fly!”

As expected of Gresham’s reincarnation.

>>126

Are you watching, Gresham?

Your soul has been divided since you became a high school student…

If I had trained seriously for the match against Kiriyama, I would have won, as I lost by a narrow margin. On the other hand, it means that if I compensate with running ability, the success rate of similar tricks will increase significantly.

First, aiming for a foul with the initial pitch bunt is extremely risky, but they went for it, including a running bluff.

I know you can play DOOM in Minecraft.

Even if you don’t understand baseball, it’s amazing that you can read a baseball manga.

They explain even the most basic things.

I remember that a bunt fly doesn’t count as an infield fly because of something that happened a long time ago with a foreign player from the Giants.

Inou might have the ability to create chances, but he lacks decisiveness in attacks, so it seems he’ll leave everything to You-chan.

This team is successfully trying everything everyone wants to do against strong opponents… everyone is crazy and everyone is smart!

Huh? Is this manga possibly a baseball manga?

If I hadn’t talked about the strategy with Kiriyama, would this have just been a double play?

>>142

If we didn’t talk about it, then there wouldn’t be any reason to run on a bunt fly, so it would just end with the catch.

I love the part where it says, “I’ll stake this one shot on the summer of the fifteenth!”

It’s a decisive hit that bets on the excitement of Chapter 15 of the Ino Legend.

Of course it’s strong.

I’m quite disturbed inside, so if my pace gets disrupted any further, it’ll be bad.

What is Masumi, who recognizes it and then insists on piling on?

>>146

Chance

>>146

I simply dislike Toragi.

In the case of two outs, a double play can’t occur in the first place, so an infield fly is naturally not applicable either.

It’s unrelated, but in youth baseball, there are many players who fail to catch a high fly even after an infield fly is called and end up dropping the ball.

Even if an infield fly is called, you can still touch up, but of course, you must start only after the fielder has made a complete catch.

Did the free-to-play player just normally handle that foul and throw it to first base, keeping Kiriyama stuck at first?

I don’t really understand it, just like the offside rule in soccer.

Infield fly

I don’t understand the infield fly.

Let’s return our voting rights.

A person who seems like they will start a business in the after-story.

What’s amazing is that in his first at-bat, he bunted to the area where he aimed for “Todoroki’s ball.”

>>154

I got used to fastballs from the previous game.

>>154

Even though there’s the premise that I was upset, it’s still amazing, isn’t it?

Masumi trusts Todoroki’s abilities as a close friend, but apart from that, she seems to naturally go in for the chase…

An infield fly is when it falls in the infield (the dirt part in a grass field), right?

I know it’s a metaphor, but it’s not “when everyone is playing RPGs in a world of swords and magic”!

Each has their own intelligence in different directions; this world is interesting…

Regarding the infield fly, if a player deliberately drops the ball to aim for a double play, it gives too much advantage to the defense and makes it uninteresting.

There shouldn’t be any problems with understanding at that level.

A man who can lecture another man playing a sword and magic RPG, saying “Even though I play Minecraft, baseball is something you do together!”

>>163

In Minecraft, it’s more efficient to farm villager mobs and work together.

I heard that double plays get deleted if they’re marked with a “+” comment, so it didn’t work out.

It’s amazing how genuinely interesting it is as a proper baseball manga.

Even though it was a practice match, it is somewhat unfortunate that Todoroki-kun got caught up in the experiments of those oddballs and was left in tatters.

It’s interesting to intentionally target the handling of a bunt fly in a one-man team’s internal conflict.

Even if Todoroki’s individual power is exceptional, if they deploy tactics that lead to visible discord within the team, it feels like they are playing a different game, one that baseball cannot compete with.

Ino-kun, it’s really admirable that you don’t look down on others.

When a fly ball is caught, the runner must return to the base they were on; I understand that.

If that’s the case, what about a sacrifice fly…?

>>172

If you have to go back, it means you can simply step on it and start the moment you take it.

>>172

It’s fine as long as you are on base when the fly is caught.

If you can make it to base after catching the ball, then you can run.

This is a sacrifice fly.

>>172

If you hit the ball to the outfield and are fast, you can advance before the throw is made.

This time it’s an infield fly, so normally there isn’t any advance on the bases.

>>172

As long as you are on the original base right up until you are tagged, if you dash the moment you are tagged, it’s safe.

It’s interesting since the time of inflation, but I guess this will never be a big hit…

It’s amazing that they continue to create works like that without wavering.

Isn’t there a renovation rule in baseball that allows for certain conditions to be okay because these restrictions are frustrating?

>>174

That’s how it became a sport that swung towards entertainment and became beloved.

>>174

Baseball is a sport, but

Professional baseball has aspects of showbiz as well…

They’re starting an intellectual battle against both enemies and allies…

Why are there such rules in play, right?

Is a double play a dirty joke?!

>>177

It’s not because it’s a play for two people.

Since it’s a designated horse, it’s fine to let it perform as much as possible.

“Intentionally dropping the ball (creating a situation where players after second base have to run) and getting the slower player out… that’s just boring! It’s weird that the one who makes a mistake on purpose gets an advantage!”

…and something like that, the infield fly rule is called an out.

“But even if a batter hits a fly ball with no outs and a runner on first, it’s better to just catch it and get the out rather than deliberately letting it fall and then throwing to first!”

…or something like that, an infield fly with no outs and a runner on first base will be ruled to continue.

Is that understanding correct?

Sudden dirty jokes are troubling for the teacher!

>>183

Cute

Betting on the summer of fifteen!! In that place.

God… I don’t wish for much, just that it’s okay…

You are too good at creating words with a fixed structure! You must be the author, right?

The teammates over there seem to have changed very little in terms of vibe, but because Todoroki has lost his mental composure, every single word has an impact on him.

Could it be that baseball is difficult?

It was a single shot that wagered my fifteenth summer, yet it’s amazing that so far I haven’t even let Torai notice it.
